A touching and beautiful biography of Caballe on dvd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-12-23

Atlast a documentary of the worlds greatest soprano on DVD!!!Montserrat Caballe is the most famous living soprano in the world.She is admired from russia to america and everywhere inbetween,which you see very well as you watch this dvd.The picture on this dvd looks wonderful,it may even be filmed in high definition.I was very pleased with the 16:9 picture and the great sound.You get to follow Caballe all around the world on this film.When you watch beyond caballe you get to meet her whole family.Her husband is the great tenor,Benarbe Marti,this film has great interviews with Caballe and her brother(who is also her manager)as well as her daughter,montserrat marti who is a great soprano in her own right.Caballe talks alot about both her family and her country(spain),during this film.Both have gave her the strengh and tranquality to keep up her busy international carear for almost 50 years.You also get to see many lovely photos of caballe,and some performance clips.This is a must have for any Caballe fan.My only other comments is it should have been another hour,and that the dvd should have had extras like Caballe performances.Still it is well worth getting at 90 minutes long and at such a reasonable price.caballe I love you.

An Extraordinary Treat!.......2005-08-21

For anyone who has admired Caballe on recordings but who never had a glimpse of her dramatic presence (and her more than occasional high spirits) on stage, this video will provide an absorbing look at the work and dedication that went into the soprano's wide-ranging career. The documentary will also give the viewer a sense of the joy that the soprano both possesses and brings to her colleagues. The brief (and they are very brief) clips of great past performances will give any opera fan something of enormous wonder and enjoyment: the glimpsed collaborations with Horne, Domingo, Carreras are all the stuff of an ever-retreating Golden Age. Caballe tells a touching story about her relationship with Callas at one point and then you see the final riveting moments of Caballe's exquisite Vissi d'Arte. And what a marvel of sound and control that is! This DVD is well worth having as part of any opera collection.

A good account of Caballe's career, and some of her biography.

CHATTER CHATTER TALK TALK TALK.......2005-05-06

CHATTER CHATTER TALK TALK TALK... IF YOU WANT TO HEAR CABALLE SING DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DVD. THERE'S LITTLE MUSIC - AND WHEN CABALLE DOES SING SHE'S IMMEDIATELY DROWNED OUT BY BABBLING COMMENTARY... I WOULD RATE IT LOWER THEN ONE STAR - BUT THERE IS NO LOWER RATING.
